Acrylic Paint, Baltic Birch Wood

26” x 26” x 3”

Built from 290 individually laser-cut and hand-painted elements, the sculpture shifts with perspective and illumination, revealing changing relationships between light, depth, and structure. Subtle gradients across both the front and back of each petal allow reflected light to move naturally through the piece, creating an atmosphere that feels embedded within the form rather than projected onto it.

At the center of the sculpture is a mirror - placed where the seed or core of the flower would traditionally exist. It transforms the piece from a purely observed object into something participatory. The viewer becomes part of the geometry itself, reflected back through the layers of light, color, and structure. A reminder that we are not separate from the systems and patterns we see in nature, but expressions of them.

Like much of my work, the piece exists between digital precision and the human hand. Parametric systems generate the underlying rhythm, but every surface still carries variation - wood grain, paint, reflection, assembly. Structure and intuition working together.

At its core, the sculpture is about emergence - how simple systems, repeated over time, can evolve into something unexpectedly alive. Part sculpture, part spatial experience, the work invites viewers to slow down and notice the hidden patterns that shape both nature and ourselves.
